Installation Notes
Turn off the filter pump and relieve system pressure. Backwash or drain the filter tank if required. Remove the old valve assembly, clean and inspect the filter’s port openings and sealing surfaces. Install the new 263053 push-pull valve, align the ports correctly, secure unions and connections per manufacturer guidelines, restore circulation and test both filtration and backwash settings for proper flow and sealing.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect this valve each service interval. Check for leaks, ease of handle movement, and wear in seals or union joints. Replace immediately if operation becomes sticky, flow is restricted, or the valve leaks during use to maintain optimal filter performance.
